Four GAA matches will be televised by RTÉ Sport this weekend in a bumper weekend of coverage across all platforms.

In addition to four free-to-air televised games, four more matches will be streamed worldwide on GAAGO.

The Joe McDonagh Cup final begins the live television coverage in a double-header from Croke Park as Antrim take on Kerry at 4.30pm. That match will also decide the pairings for the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals.

The Leinster hurling final will follow as Henry Shefflin's Galway take on Brian Cody’s Kilkenny at 7pm. Both matches will be live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.

Two matches will be streamed simultaneously on GAAGO on Saturday. The football first round qualifier between Cork and Louth begins at 2pm, as well as a historic Tailteann Cup match in Tullamore as Offaly welcome New York.

The action on GAAGO concludes at 6pm as Clare take on Meath in the football qualifiers. Sky Sports will also carry coverage of Mayo v Monaghan at 4pm.

Sunday brings two more mouth-watering televised games.

Reigning All-Ireland champions Tyrone face their provincial rivals Armagh in a first-round football qualifier, throwing in at 1.30pm.

That is preceding one of the great occasions in Irish sport, as dominant Limerick face Clare in Semple Stadium at 4pm. Again, both games are on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.

Two more neighbours clash on GAAGO, as Leitrim and Sligo meet in Carrick-on-Shannon in the Tailteann Cup quarter-finals at 3pm.

Elsewhere, there will be seven hours of live sport on RTÉ Radio from just before 2pm, including comprehensive GAA coverage and the Republic of Ireland’s UEFA Nations League game with Armenia (also live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player), with updates from Leinster v Glasgow on Saturday Sport on RTÉ Radio 1.

Radio coverage continues on Sunday, with all of the day’s GAA matches covered.

Full commentary of Ulster v Munster in URC play-off will be available on RTÉ Radio 1 Extra on Friday

Updates on all matches will be provided on the RTÉ News app and RTÉ.ie/Sport throughout the weekend.
